The Evolution of Repeat Prescriptions

If you have a standing prescription for a certain medication and a certain dosage you may be tired of chasing up your prescription through your GP and then your chemist. This process may cause disruptions in your medication supply with refill delays or lack of medication availability when you need it. If so, you might want to consider signing up for NHS repeat prescriptions. Pearl Chemist can help you to sort out your repeat prescriptions online for delivery in London.

What is a repeat prescription?
If a doctor prescribes you the same medication on an ongoing basis for something such as high blood pressure, you likely receive a “repeat prescription”.  It differs from a “normal” prescription as a normal prescription is usually given once and for a certain length of time. 

The Evolution of Repeat Prescriptions
As technology has advanced, so have services such as repeat prescriptions. There once was a day when a good portion of GP time was spent coordinating repeat prescription services. Then, GP and Chemists tried to make refilling your prescriptions more convenient by offering a service which sent your prescriptions directly to the chemist. 

Chemists, at that time, offered a programme where you could have a standing record at the chemist, allowing you to just phone in and re-order, leaving them to coordinate with the GP.  This worked, however limited you to choose a local pharmacy and not all chemists had programmes in place that allowed for this.

Now, with NHS repeat prescription services, all you have to do is sign up for an account at Pearl Chemist, choose us as your nominated pharmacy and we will take care of the rest.  You don’t even need to contact us in order to re-order your prescriptions.  We will contact you when it is time for a refill- you just need to approve the re-order.  The great news is that you don't even need to be local to us in order to nominate us for your repeat prescription dispensary. We deliver anywhere in the UK.
